The chapters in this book, written by international experts from different fields of architecture and engineering, are devoted to recent interdisciplinary works in a variety of subjects related to sustainable architecture and engineering, environmental modeling, behavioral science and public health. The invited contributions focus on new ideas, concepts and research work with multidisciplinary applications.   Special features of this volume include indoor and urban design impacts on human comfort, modeling and assessment of multi-scale design dynamics, as well as new results from diverse areas of research spanning from architecture and engineering to neuroscience and public health.   Sustainable Environmental Design in Architecture is intended for graduate students and researchers of architecture, engineering, neuroscience, public health, social and computational sciences, architectural modeling and related fields.
